Riot Games Launches League of Legends: Dominion Beta Testing Windows

Log-on to LoL in off-hours, and you just might get a chance to play Dominion.

Riot Games hopes to put a new twist on the action-RTS/multiplayer online battle arena genre with Dominion, a new game mode for League of Legends. And the studio announced that, starting today, it will be cracking open beta "test windows" that allow summoners to try Dominion for themselves.

If you're reading this during "off-peak" League of Legend hours, which we take to mean standard business hours, head on over to LoL and there's a good chance you'll be able to hop into a Dominion match.

"Over the coming days, we'll be opening testing windows on our platforms during off-peak hours, each of which will be prefaced by a forum announcement to let you know you can and participate," Riot said in a statement. "And if you miss one of the testing windows, remember that there will be plenty more opportunities to help test Dominion as we speed toward launch."

Our resident LoL junkie, Ryan Scott, had the chance to go hands-on with Dominion at a recent Riot Games press event. Check out his thoughts in our

Spy Guy says: I started getting into LoL a couple months back, and after having my ass handed to me on countless occasions and being told how badly I suck, I'm just now starting to get the hang of it with a couple Champions. Looking forward to mixing things up in Dominion.
